Thomas & Mary(Shepley) had at least 6 children and fortunately his progeny are the best documented of the four brothers. I have not found a record for the marriage of Thomas and Mary . Thomas was a Land Steward,^{39, 40}later branching into being a Land and Building Agent ^{31, 32}. He lived in the Cheetham Hill area, spent his last years in Sale, Cheshire, and died at his son Joseph’s house in Birkdale.

Predicted the long drought of 1868 enabling the Manchester Corporation to reduce its effects by regulating water use at an early date. Named after him is "Baxendell’s Unphotographable Nebula"(NGC 7088) which is situated 26’ North of M2.^{39, 40}

At 28 Thomas was living with his uncle Joseph at 176 New Rd. Denton, and gave his occupation as Hatter, ⁵ and his marriage in the Manchester Cathedral Register, in 1852, ¹⁴ says the same, as does the birth certificate of Charles in 1856.²⁷In 1869,he inherited from his Uncle Joseph, 2000 pounds and his telescope.⁴²The Earl of Wilton persuaded him to introduce cotton spinning to Denton and donated land for the purpose. He established the Alpha Mill, the first cotton mill in Denton, which eventually was destroyed by fire in 1915. He was instrumental in the establishment of the United Free Methodist Church in Denton and built 47 houses opposite his mill, which he named Alpha Terrace.⁴⁸ In 1891 Thomas and Eliza were living at Rose Hill, Denton, with James Bridge, Eliza’s widowed brother. ⁹
My father (Thomas Geoffrey) lived with his grandfather Charles during the last year of Eliza's life.
